Chapter 243 My Master is a Bit Dark
Danshan Sect!
Chu Ning followed his beautiful master, traveling through many mountains, and finally a mountain that was very different from the other mountains appeared in front of him.
The entire top of the mountain grows like a flower bud, and on top of this flower bud stands a palace.
It feels like a mountain that has been precisely carved out by a designer.
"This is the Life Hall. All Danshan Sect disciples who join the sect must leave their life lamps here. If a disciple dies, the life lamp will go out."
Qi Shiyun saw the surprised look of her disciples and explained: "As for the shape of the mountain you see, it is not artificially carved, but formed by nature."
“There are also mountains with this shape.”
Chu Ning was amazed, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
The closer he got to the mountain, the more the Qingshan in his body reacted, especially the Nian Tangshan that he had taken back, which reacted the strongest.
As Chu Ning's eyes opened and closed, a purple light flowed.
He used the art of looking at qi.
When the Qi-gazing technique was performed, this strangely shaped mountain had wisps of special green air flowing around the mountain.
This was the first time he saw green air flowing around a mountain.
If it is the energy of the earth veins, it should be the energy of yellow earth.
Unfortunately, the master did not give him much time to observe, and soon brought him to the entrance of the Ming Palace.
The entire hall appears very quiet at first glance, but it gives people an extremely solemn and dignified feeling.
"In the Destiny Hall, except for the new disciples who come here to light the Destiny Lamp, the disciples from other peaks usually don't come here."
It was Qi Shiyun's first time as a master, and she was very responsible. She helped Chu Ning solve many of his doubts along the way.
This is the advantage of finding a new master. If the master has already accepted many disciples, it is not that he is not attentive in teaching his disciples, but he will definitely not answer some small questions.
There is a saying that goes, no matter how much you love a job, after doing it for a long time you will become a veteran and numb to it.
The same principle applies to being a master, and Chu Ning is fortunate that every master he meets only has him as a disciple.
Qi Shiyun brought Chu Ning into the hall. After entering, Chu Ning found that the hall was very simple and ancient. There was only a statue in the middle, and then on the walls around the hall, there were life lamps with shining flames.
"Chu Ning, kneel down in front of the statue of the ancestor."
Without any hesitation, Chu Ning walked to the statue in the center of the hall and knelt down, while Qi Shiyun looked at the old man who was sitting cross-legged in the corner on the right side of the hall.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of opening his eyes, Qi Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief. In the entire Danshan Sect, whether a newcomer could truly become a disciple of the Danshan Sect was not decided by the elders like them, nor by the Sect Master, but by this senior.
The last hurdle for new novice novice is to light the Life Lamp. A thousand years ago, there was an extremely talented disciple who was fought over by many elders. In the end, he was personally accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Three Peaks.
It was originally thought that this talented disciple would belong to the Three Peaks, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred when this talented disciple entered the natal hall to light the life lamp.
The senior who had been sitting in the corner of the hall without opening his eyes all this time opened his eyes that time and said only one sentence: "This person is not suitable to be a disciple of my Danshan Sect."
With just these one sentence, the leader of the Third Peak, who had paid a great price to snatch the person from other elders, gave up the talented disciple without saying a word.
At that time, he had just become an elder not long ago, and it was also at that time that he realized that the status and position of this senior in the Benming Hall was extraordinary in the sect.
After Chu Ning finished paying homage to his ancestors, a life lamp suddenly appeared in front of him.
There was no energy fluctuation. Chu Ning's eyes narrowed. He certainly would not believe that this was the appearance of the founder of Danshan Sect, although this scene looked very much like the appearance of the founder.
It can only be said that the means by which this life lamp appeared was too sophisticated, and at his current level he could not see through the mystery.
"Chu Ning, separate a strand of your spirit and focus on this life lamp."
Chu Ning followed his master's instructions and separated a wisp of his soul and placed it on the life lamp. The next moment, the life lamp changed and a flame lit up on the wick.
The flame lit up, and Chu Ning saw his own projection in the flame, and felt a sense of closeness to this life lamp.
The life lamp of Danshan Sect is prepared for disciples who encounter accidents. Once the disciple dies, the life lamp will go out and the place where the disciple died will be marked.
This way, people from other sects would not dare to kill the disciples of Danshan Sect, unless they could ensure that they could do it perfectly and would not be discovered by Danshan Sect.
"I never thought that there would be a day when I would be protected by a sect."
Chu Ning looked at the life lamp in front of him, but his thoughts went back to the Daliang Dynasty. He had killed the son of an elder of the Wuji Sect because the Wuji Sect had the means to mark the place of death, which forced him to flee and led to a series of events that followed.
Mountains and rivers have their own cycle, and now it is my turn to be treated like this.
However, with the lesson learned from the son of the elder of Wuji Sect, Chu Ning would not sit back and relax. The Life Lamp could only make the opponent afraid to kill in public, but there would be no such concerns in private.
Even the Wuji Sect has such means. There are so many sects in Baicheng that are more powerful than the Wuji Sect, but they don’t use life lanterns or the like. It’s not that they don’t have such means, but there is no need to do so in the Baicheng area.
The cultivators in the Hundred Cities area have all fought their way to the top, and they are more skilled than the other in killing, setting fire, and destroying corpses. Some of them have many means to prevent the other sect from finding any clues.
Furthermore, if all the sects were doing these things, then how could they carry out assassinations, kill people and plunder to improve their realm? This would not conform to the cultivation concept of the cultivators of the Hundred Cities.
After Chu Ning lit the life lamp, Qi Shiyun took Chu Ning away.
"Master, my life lamp..."
"Someone will put the life lamp in the right place for you, so you don't have to worry about that."
Qi Shiyun did not explain the identity of that senior to Chu Ning, because she did not know what that senior's identity was specifically, and regarding that senior's affairs, only the elders like them knew the inside story in the sect.
"oh."
Chu Ning did not ask any more questions. When he entered the hall, he also saw the old man sitting in the corner. However, since the master did not tell him the old man's identity, he would not take the initiative to ask.
What Chu Ning and Qi Shiyun didn't know was that after the two left, the old man stood up and walked to the statue of the ancestor, looking at the Chu Ning life lamp floating in the air, his old eyes filled with thought. After a while, he lightly tapped his right hand, and there was a fluctuation of spatial energy in the hall. A ray of light appeared out of thin air, and the light became brighter and brighter, finally tearing open the space of the hall.
The main hall was torn apart, revealing a small space, and in this small space were placed eight life lamps, but six of the eight life lamps had been extinguished, and the remaining two had weak flames, as if they would run out of oil at any moment.

The old man looked at the only two remaining life lamps, with a touch of reminiscence on his face. After a while, he raised his hand, and Chu Ning's life lamp also flew into the small space and was placed on the far right of the eight life lamps.
When the life lamp fell, the small space disappeared, the hall returned to peace, and the old man returned to sit in the corner of the hall, as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, Qi Shiyun had a smile on her face. At this point, her disciple could no longer escape.
"Master will take you back to the Sixth Peak. Remember not to speak for now."
"Yes, Master."
Chu Ning didn't know why his beautiful master gave such an order, but he still had to listen to her.
The sixth peak.
Qi Shiyun brought Chu Ning to the hall on the top of the mountain.
This is the main hall of the Sixth Peak.
After entering the hall, Chu Ning felt three pairs of eyes falling on him. At this moment, he felt as if he was naked.
There were three old men standing in the main hall. From the aura they exuded, Chu Ning knew that these three should be the elders of the Sixth Peak like his master.
"Elder Qin's information was very timely this time. If we had arrived a little later, our Sixth Peak would have lost a talented disciple."
Qi Shiyun took the initiative to speak as soon as she entered the hall. When Elder Qin delivered the message, the four of them knew about it. It was only because she was a female cultivator and was more interested in the Rejuvenating Pill that she was the one who made the trip to lead the new courtyard.
Hearing Qi Shiyun's words, the three elders present showed joy on their faces. Since Elder Qi said so, this newcomer's talent in alchemy should be very good.
"It took half a year to refine the Rejuvenating Pills, and all five are top-grade."
Qi Shiyun didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told Chu Ning about his alchemy achievements.
"Five top-grade anti-aging pills?"
The three elders' eyes lit up. What they were interested in was naturally not the five top-grade anti-aging pills, but the fact that the five top-grade anti-aging pills could reveal the newcomer's talent in alchemy.
"Yes, Elder Qi made the right choice. I just happened to..."
"Elder Qu, I'm afraid that Chu Ning's alchemy has spread to all the peaks. The elders of other peaks, especially the Fifth Peak, will not let it go."
Qi Shiyun suddenly interrupted Elder Qu. Chu Ning listened to his master's words and had a hunch that his master seemed to be deliberately not letting Elder Qu finish his words.
"What can we do if we don't give up? We have already reached our sixth peak. The die is cast. No one can change the outcome."
"That's right. I don't believe those old guys from other peaks dare to come to our peak to ask for people. It's a done deal and there's no way to change it."
"Don't worry, Elder Qi. Even if this matter gets reported to the Peak Master and Sect Master, we at the Sixth Peak are not afraid. This kind of thing has happened before."
Listening to the words of the three elders, Qi Shiyun smiled and said, "What the three elders said is right. Chu Ning is now my disciple. This matter has become a foregone conclusion and no one can change it."
Swish! The whole hall suddenly became quiet, and the three elders were stunned for a moment.
Damn, I've been fooled! Chu Ning looked at the three elders' wide-open eyes and suddenly felt that his beautiful master was far from being as arrogant and cold as she appeared.
My master is a bit sinister.
